A/N: Sweet! I upheld my promise. Halleluiah. And no, Jack will not have a relationship with the forest sprit. They'll just be friends.
Disclaimer: Sigh… I have to go through this again? I do NOT own Rise of the Guardians. There. Happy? :P
Jack's POV
As I swim out of the blackness that surrounded me, I am aware of an incredibly soft bed underneath me. I try to open my eyes, but they seem to be glued shut. I start to panic, the smooth wood of the staff is nowhere near me, and I can't feel it anywhere. I blindly thrash about, my hand colliding with what feels like clay pots, and shattering them immediately.
"Hey!' an angry voice calls out, "Do you know how long it took to make those!?" I swivel to face the voice, my hand naturally forming around my staff… well, if it was there.
I begin to panic again, not being able to see was frightening enough, but without my staff, I felt completely vulnerable. Not counting the fact that I was in an unknown room with an unknown person or persons…
"S… stay back." I say, horrified that my voice stuttered. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, and I immediately freeze. I feel my self being guided somewhere. Since I was currently blind for some reason, I really had no choice but to trust this unknown adversary.
To my surprise, I find that I was lead to the bed where I woke up. Being forcibly pushed down, I just lay there. A glass of water is pushed to my lips, and I drink thirstily. When the glass is empty, I lie there until sleep overtakes me.
Unknown POV
As I prepare dinner for the evening, I recall how mad I was when I saw that sprit breaking my pots. When I called out, I was planning to add something a good deal more hurtful, but when he turned around, I saw his eyes were unseeing. Then I realized that it wasn't his fault. I led him back to the bed, and here I am, standing underneath the moon again.
I won't deny that I am not happy about having this sprit dumped into my care, but until I can help him regain his sight, I'll try my hardest to help him. I stare up at the moon, wondering how this strange boy is.
Jack Iceblaze, MiM says, and I stare up at him in amazement. I wonder what the name means. After all, how can you have fire and ice in one body without it killing you?
A/N: Super sorry about the short chapter… I truly am. :/
